LIS S603 Section 12744: Workshop: Publishing in LIS
Are you looking for a short summer course? How about a 3-week workshop (1 credit) on publishing and communicating in libraries?
We are going to look at some ideas in librarianship and how they relate to aspects of editing and publishing. Our lessons will cover editing and scholarly communication; Abstracting/indexing and access; Citation as access and scholarly communication; Reviews, scholarly communication, and collection development; Online presence and authority; and Publishers, authority, and access. Each week we will have two lessons, required readings, and assignments that help you put into practice the ideas discussed in the lessons and readings.
Learning outcomes
- Evaluate the role of the editor in scholarly communication.
- Create a title, abstract, and keywords for a short paper.
- Examine how bibliometrics and altmetrics are used in scholarly communication.
- Determine what makes a review scholarly and how reviews are used in libraries.
- Analyze how cataloging aids in scholarly communication (both online and in physical libraries).
- Interpret the benefits of Open Access and the role of Creative Commons licenses in access.
WikiWednesday: Hybrid even with IUPUI University Library, 4/3
Join us for WikiWednesday on April 3rd by Zoom https://iu.zoom.us/j/82793079071 or in person in UL 2115G at 10am for an exploration of books that have been banned or challenged in the state of Indiana.
We will focus on the key properties for adding or enhancing the records for some of these books in Wikidata.
We’ll also use this Wednesday as the kickoff for our local participation in the global Wikimedia campaign, #EveryBookItsReader.
If you can’t attend this Wednesday, but would like to participate in the campaign …
Here are the basic steps:
- Sign in with your Wikipedia account here.
- Choose an entry to improve about a book
- Make an edit and add the hashtag #EveryBookItsReader to your Edit summary.
No improvement is too small … fix a typo, find a missing citation, add an image of the book cover.
See, for example, the Wikipedia entry for Heather Has Two Mommies. The entry claims that it was the 2nd most banned book in America in 1992. Is this true? If so, can you find a citation in a reliable source? If not, remove the claim.
Hope to see you on Wednesday!
(Snacks and coffee provided for in-person attendees.)
